PGM Sculptures - Mathematical Furniture

|
I wondered whether it would be possible to make furniture completely defined by geometrical constructions. I found various solutions and in fact it has no end. My circle group consists of tables, chairs, and cupboards, each constructed from a single plate, all starting from a circle as the kernel. With a simple Euclidian construction (using a ruler and compass) all the necessary design properties can be constructed (pictures 1-3). Transformation of the circle design Ð by shortening the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal dimension Ð results in 3 other groups of the family (pictures 4-6) Another series - a set of tables - starts with an ellipse as kernel (pictures 7,8,9). |
